Search

 
How do I search for something on the website if I don’t know which page it’s on?
You can enter your search term on the upper right hand corner of every page on the website. Search terms must be entered exactly as they appear in the results. e.g. If you are looking for an article with the words “marketing goals” you will have to enter the term in the exact order in which the words actually appear. Entering the term goals marketing will not return the desired article.

To narrow your search results to the item you are looking for, navigate to the page the content is on and use the application’s search engine.

Business Showcase

 
How do I display my business card in the Business Showcase?

Press the Display Your Card button on the right side of the Business Showcase page to get started. If you have your business card in GIF or JPEG format, choose Upload Your Business Card and follow the instructions on the screen.

What if I have my business card in a different file format?

If your file is in BMP, TIF or PNG format, you can open it in Microsoft Paint and save as a GIF or JPEG file.

Can I display a business card even if I don’t have one on file?

Yes. Press the Display Your Card button on the right side of the Business Showcase page to get started. Choose Design Your Business Card Online and follow the instructions on the screen to create your virtual business card.

Will my business card be able to link to my website?

Yes. When you upload your card, or create a new one, you will be given the option to enter a URL to direct viewers to your website. If you don’t have a website, you can enter your e-mail address instead.

Why can’t I choose which position on the page my card appears in?

Business cards are “shuffled” on each page load. The cards are randomly rotated each time the Business Showcase is loaded or the page is refreshed. This ensures that every card gets equal exposure.
